Definitions
- halogen-containing polymers and copolymers are thermoplastic in nature, and, therefore, require heating in order to soften them during fabrication operations, such as molding, calendering, or extruding.
- the heat with which these polymers are processed is usually in the range of 190°C, or even higher, and is limited in degree and duration by the tendency of such polymers to deterio- rate and decompose. Decomposition of the polymers leads to deterioration of the resultant physical properties of the resin compositions produced therefrom. In addition, a severe darkening in the color of the resin can result, thus prohibiting its use in lightly colored or transparent articles.
- Organotin compounds particularly those having tin bonded to sulfur, such as those which contain a mercapto group, have been found to be an extremely effective type of stabilizer for halogen-containing polymers, such as vinyl chloride polymers.
- Tin stabilizer compounds perform the function of reducing decomposition of the polymer during the processing procedure. The stabilizer allows the polymer itself, or a resin containing the polymer, to be molded, calendered or extruded with a minimum of discoloration or deterioration.
- a major disadvantage of the use of any of the above- identified organotin stabilizer compositions is that they are relatively expensive. A reduction of the amount of tin stabilizer used in a polymer composition would be economically beneficial, and could represent a significant cost savings to the user. Therefore, it would be desirable to replace at least a portion of the tin present in a given resin formulation with a less expensive material without incurring any significant decrease in heat stability. In addition, it would be desirable to enhance the stabilizing properties of less-efficient organotin or other stabilizing compounds by addition of inexpensive synergistic co-stabilizing compounds. It is also desirable to obtain longer process times at elevated temperatures, and to be able to process resin formulations at higher temperatures.
- phosphate materials as a primary stabilizer for vinyl polymers was disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 2,218,645, issued to A. Japs. This patent teaches that certain phosphate or borate salts, particularly trisodium phosphate or lead borate, can be used to stabilize vinyl polymers. The resultant compositions are claimed to exhibit some color improvement.
- U.S. Pat. No. 2,868,765 issued to Haefner et al., relates to the use of a small amount of a phosphate in a water-based vinyl chloride polymerization mixture.
- the phosphate is added to the aqueous solution before polymerization occurs, and most of the phosphate is removed by water washing after polymerization is complete.
- the thus-treated polymer is then combined with other heat-stabilizing compounds.
- U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,345,040 and 4,374,205 both issued to D. Hall, relate to using of an aqueous solution containing a metal salt of phosphoric acid in the treatment of a porous post-chlorinated vinyl chloride polymer.
- This aqueous treatment of porous polymers re-quires that the polymer be porous enough to absorb the phosphate, which must be in a water solution.
- the present invention provides a stabilizer compo- sition for enhancing the long-term melt stability of halogen-containing thermoplastic compositions, the stabilizer composition comprising a mixture of: a) one or more metal-containing primary stabilizer compounds; and b) a finely divided co-stabilizing phosphate material comprising an anhydrous or hydrous sodium or potassium monohydrogen phosphate, lithium dihydrogen phosphate, or alkali-metal pyrophosphate, the finely divided phosphate material being characterized by a - 4 -
- the invention also includes heat-stabilized compo ⁇ sitions comprising halogen-containing thermoplastic polymers combined with the stabilizers of the present invention.
- the invention provides a process for heat-stabilizing such halogen-containing thermo ⁇ plastic polymers by the addition of the stabilizers of the present invention.
- the stabilizers of this invention extend the viscosity stability of halogen-containing resins, such as polyvinyl chloride, at elevated temperatures, while delaying for as long as possible the development of discoloration.
- the use of a finely divided phosphate co-stabilizer in accordance with this invention can reduce the amount of costly primary organometallic stabilizer required to achieve a given degree of heat stabilization.
- the phosphate co-stabilizer can improve the performance of less-efficient metal- containing stabilizer compounds and thereby extend the long-term stability of the polyvinyl chloride polymer resin.
- a preferred halogen-containing resin which exhibits superior melt stabilization is polyvinyl chloride, although also contemplated are other polyvinyl halide polymers, copolymers with vinyl acetate, vinylidene chloride, styrene dialkyl fumarate or maleate, or other alkyl esters of mono-olefinic acids, as well as blends and alloys of vinyl halide polymers with other thermo ⁇ plastic resins.
- the polyvinyl halide polymer used is ordinarily and preferably the chloride, although others such as the bromide or fluoride may be used. Also included are chlorinated polyvinyl chloride and halogenated polyolefins.
- the vinyl halide polymer compositions that can be stabilized according to this invention will be ho opolymers of vinyl halide monomers, copolymers of vinyl halide monomers with other monomers and including both block and graft copolymers, and alloys, blends and mixtures of vinyl halide monomers with other polymers.
- the vinyl halide polymers can be compounded for extrusion, injection molding and blow molding, and can be formed into such finished articles as fibers, siding, window profiles, films, pipe, elbows and other pipe couplings, and bottles.
- the vinyl halide polymers can be mixed with other ingredients such as dyes, pigments, flameproofing agents, lubricants, impact modifiers and processing aids, and with other additives to prevent, reduce or mask discoloration or deterioration caused by heating, aging, exposure to light or weathering.
- the thermoplastic composition of the invention comprises one or more halogen-containing polymers, and, as a primary stabilizer, a metal-containing compound such as a metal soap, an organometallic compound, or deriva ⁇ tives or mixtures thereof.

- a preferred phosphate for use in this invention is anhydrous DSP.

- the phosphate material is charac ⁇ terized by a specific surface area of at least about 0.5 m 2 /g, as interpreted using the well-known B.E.T. theory, discussed further below. Particularly enhanced improvements in performance are seen when the phosphate material has a B.E.T.-measured surface area greater than about 1.1 m 2 /g, particularly when using anhydrous DSP.
- the B.E.T. method for the determination of effective surface area of a powdered solid is a measure of the quantity of gas that adsorbs as a monomolecular layer on the sample. (See Perry and Chilton, Chemical Engineers' Handbook. Fifth Ed., p. 8-7 (1973).) The B.E.T. theory was set forth by Brunauer, Emmett, and Teller, J. Am. Chem. Soc.. Vol. 60, 309 (1938). If the quantity of gas required to cover a powder with a complete monolayer of gas molecules is measured, then the surface area can be calculated using the cross-sectional area of the gas molecules. The surface area measured by gas-adsorption techniques is directly related to the surface area available in chemical reactions.

- the preferred DSP materials not only provide excellent co-stabilization, but are also readily available at relatively low cost.
- the suitable forms of DSP are anhydrous Na 2 HP0 and hydrous Na 2 HP0 4 «2H 2 0, Na 2 HP0 4 «7H 2 0, and Na 2 HP0 4 •12H 2 0.
- Another group of alkali-metal phosphates are dipotassium mono- hydrogen phosphate (K 2 HP0 4 ) and lithium dihydrogen phosphate (LiH 2 P0 ) . Each acts as a co-stabilizer when added to a selected metal-containing stabilizer.

- the use of the phosphate co-stabilizer can even provide a significant improvement in the overall stabili ⁇ zation.
- the present invention allows a reduction in the amount of tin mercaptide heat stabilizer added to a polymer melt, and this reduction in the level of tin mercaptide results in a product having improved resistance to weathering.
- additive of various amounts of the finely divided phosphate co-stabilizers of the present invention to normal amounts of less-effective tin stabilizer compounds provides even longer term stability for various fabrication processes.
- Such additional amounts of co-stabilizers provide extended melt viscosity times of thermal stability for the halogen-containing polymers.
- the alkali-metal phosphate co-stabilizers of the present invention provide improved melt viscosity stability for halogen-containing polymers. This improve ⁇ ment means that halide polymer compositions can be held at elevated temperatures for a longer periods of time than were previously possible. It also means that the compositions can be subjected to higher processing temperatures than were previously possible. Since the viscosity of a thermoplastic composition decreases as temperature is increased, higher melt temperatures allow faster processing and cycle times. Thus, the present invention provides greater productivity in injection- molding and extrusion processes.
- the present invention also provides significant economies in connection with recycling scrap generated in thermoplastics fabrication operation. Because scrap, e.g., runners and defective parts, has been exposed to elevated temperatures, there are limits respecting the amount of reground scrap that can be combined with virgin material; this figure is normally no greater than 20%. Because of the greater resistance to thermally-induced deterioration provided to halogen-containing resins by the alkali-metal phosphate salts described herein, the amount of recycled material can be 100%, i.e., defective parts, runners, flashing and the like can be reground and totally recycled for extrusion and injection molding. Also contemplated is the use of alkaline-earth metal phosphate salts and their pyrophosphate analogs.
